This is the second book in the Love in Emerald Creek series. I have not read the first book but this one was great. Shayna is such a real character. Single-mom that left an abusive relationship to give her kids and herself a better life. She is strong and capable but does not see that in herself. I love the chemistry between her and Burke. This book just made my heart feel good

Jackson – Review by Michelle Collier
What happens when rockstar Loch Mackenzie, goes to a small town bed and breakfast to get some R&R? He meets Hailey, the owner of the B&B, and both of their worlds are completely changed. This story was the perfect combination of love and healing. The characters were full of life.

I loved this book. It has everything in it. There is tragedy, heartbreak, drama, conflict, forgiveness and of course romance. Laramee is determined and head strong. She wants nothing more than to save the family ranch. Jamie just wants to get away and appraising the Stone Ranch is the perfect excuse. I love the dynamic between Laramee and Jamie, but I also love the dynamic that plays out within the families.

This is the first book in the Daughters of Dishonor Series. Regency romance is right up my ally and man this was a good one. Then you add in a good helping of intrigue and suspense, well i just could not put it down. Margot is a vicar’s daughter and Lord Langley is a renowned rake. I can’t wait to see how the 2nd book continues this story!

This box set is 3 separate historical romances that are set in Portugal. I loved descriptions of the country and wine. The stories follow 3 separate couples. Although the books have shared characters the books can each be read as a stand alone. The romance and the suspense had me lost in the world of these books.

Oh my goodness how beautiful is this cover !? Once I finished the last page it became even more beautiful 🥰📖
Shayna is a single mom to Eli and Zoe and I know it tough but I’m so proud of her for walking away from her abusive ex JT she did what was best for her and precious children despite her nasty attitude from her ex in laws .
She’s a brilliant mom and a good person despite the issues between her and JT she doesn’t bad mouth him or keep him from speaking to his children ( he’s in prison) and when the time comes she stands up to them because they get get really nasty at a stage and for that I reflect her even more because she even does that with dignity ! As you can see I think Shauna is a saint and she and her kids deserve only the best and they do get that 🥰😉
Anyhoo Shayna is called into work early , unexpectedly one morning and as she’s a single mum she has no dad on hand do she calls in her bestie Dre who in turn sends her other bestie Burke aka our delectable Sir Yumminess , our knight in shining armour 🤣🥰 and from the get go my knees go weak , he takes over so naturally ( a real swoon moment
Burke is brilliant with both Eli and Zoe and if I didn’t know any better I would assume he’s their dad and thi he’s are going well but Shayna has a freak out moment and I get it but it causes a bit of a wedge between her and Burke and despite that Burke still is present for the kids and Shayna he’s a real keeper and this is what makes this read so real is these are real feelings and experiences people go through everyday and yes sone are lucky to find their Burke but some still get stuck with a JT 😢
Shayna , Burke , Zoe , Eli and the rest of these characters will stay with me for some time I laughed , I cried , I swooned , oooohed and aaahed and yes I got really really mad a few times and I just loved sharing their story , I can see rereading this on my near future ❣️📚

Hello ? Someone give me a match ! I need to make a fire ‘! I need a fireman 👨🚒🤣🥰🔥especially if he looks like the one on the cover and even more so if he’s anything like Zach , man he’s a sweetheart 😉
So Libby inherits a house from her aunt and on her first day in her “ new home “ in her new town she manages to start a fire by simply making toast ! 🤣 I must say I was in hysterics because it sound like something that would happen to me 😉
Anyhoo the fire brigade are on their way and the delectable man to save her in her Disney princess jammies has eyes anyone could drown in and I’d say there’s more that just the toaster smoking 🔥😜 Zach had me swooning from the get go 🥰and he’s got confidence but not arrogance and those dimples … I know I’m weak but what can I say 🙈🤣😜
There was just something about Libby that got Zach and it went both ways and I loved watching Zach and his brothers tease , laugh and have serious moments especially when it came to the ranch and it’s future this is one of those families you just feel part of and most of all I loved how he “pushed” Libby into a relationship and not just something casual , they had me on my toes that’s for sure
I laughed , I loved and yes I shed a tear or 2 these people will climb into your heart and stay there for long after the last page ❣️📚this is one of those reads I just want everyone to read !

Good grief talk about a dysfunctional family ! My heart just broke into millions of pieces for the suffering of Gavin and his mum 🥲
Gavin and Devin are brothers , identical twins to be exact but that’s where the similarity stops Devon is cruel , vindictive , unkind and abusive , he’s definitely inherited dads genes that’s for sure , while there’s clearly something wrong with Devon I can’t help but feel resentful towards him because to a degree he has a choice doesn’t he 🤷♀️
Gavin is the total opposite and despite how Devon treats him he often protects him which to me speaks volumes of his character
Mom also got my back up because she could remove her and her boys from their poisonous environment but chooses to stay and don’t get me wrong I have alot of sympathy for women in similar situations because their believe they deserve no better but this woman isn’t one of those
To a degree Gavin looses his identity and Devon turn to drugs and mob involvement which in turn puts everyone in danger and Gavin needs to make a decision to save himself and it’s not the easiest position to be in self preservation or family and this is just a nasty family cycle if one looks into their family history …
A heartbreaking , frightful and brilliant read ! I felt like climbing into to the book on more than one occasion to shake that momma or to just save Gavin …be prepared for this , keep tissues on hand and an ample supply of emotional support snacks 😉

Really enjoyed a different genre for a change! This story was easy to read and follow. Character/relationship development was awesome!!!! I had many “what ifs” while reading which is super fun! I did predict some stuff but not all! Would highly recommend to anyone who loves a good “who done it” story!

I really enjoyed this story! I love how the Dinopotamus did everything and wanted to do everything the kids did! This is definitely a fun story I’m gonna have to show my 3 year old! I really think he would enjoy it!
Honestly, this book took me a second to get into. I found it hard to connect with the FMC, but I was solidly invested into the plot. It’s a pretty solid YA read, and I found myself laughing along with the characters as they navigated through the story. I did enjoy it, and I would 100% recommend it to others!

This is when Ducky decides she wants to try and get at least a peek at him even though she feels he would want nothing to do with her. Ducky is a duck shifter and according to everyone has no qualities of a good shifter. On her trip to the castle she gets anxious that she will be seen and accidentally shifts into her duck form and is saved and taken into the castle, where Kobreon and his mother begin to fall for this duckling shifter. However she is only known as a shifter to his mother, Kobreon does not yet know. Will Kobreon be able to prevent the war and will he be able to keep his beloved duckling?
One Quarter Villain by Cori Cooper – Review by Jessica Stone
Wow, what an interesting book. Kudos to the Author Cori Cooper, for this interesting read.
First off, when I started reading I decided pretty much right away that Maddy, the main female character was not my favorite, I couldn’t understand these weird ticks that she had and her critical eye and quickness to aggravate and be on the offensive. But as the book went on I realized that all these things that I originally found unappealing set the character up for what her main story would be, the reveal of her character and who she really is. All these quirks that seemed weird to me suddenly became who she was and endearing qualities. And it’s wild how the author set the book up to work like that. I think the same goes for the male main character Leo, except I found him endearing, goofy, sweet, all the things I felt missing in Maddy I found in Leo, her best friend, the yin to her yang.
Her character work in this book is amazing, her focus on the main characters and making them relatable without making them predictable and the story predictable is what made reading this book so awesome. I honestly did not see where this book was going but I greatly enjoyed when I got there.
This book is part of a five part series but I read can be devoured as a standalone, the author has stated though that the main characters from this story will make an appearance in later installments in the series. I can’t wait for the next book to come out, this was such a fun, laugh out loud, sweet read.

Ten books deep and I can’t wait for more. Each book in this series can be read as a stand alone, however if you read through the series from start to finish there is a much deeper story experience. I love books that have cross over characters and this series has that too.
If you don’t want to read the nine books before this one that’s okay too. You can start with this one. It’s a fantastically dark story with mafia vibes, vampires and just the right amount of spice to story ratio!

I wasn’t for sure what I was getting into when I picked up this book. It’s different than what I usually read, but was good. It was an easy read and had a hard time putting it down.
This book can be helpful for anyone who needs self-motivation! It is full of tips and tricks to get you out of your comfort zone and into more productivity. I have implemented some of the techniques in my personal life already but I’m looking forward to improving professionally through the advice and techniques here! Everyone can benefit from this book!

I am slowly implementing these ideas and practices into my everyday life and it is helping me actually get things done. Love this book!

If you’re a Christie fan you’re either going live this or hate this …. I LOVED it ! I’m a die hard Christie fan so I was a little nervous at first but despite not always liking Lexie I like the “tribute “ to her characters , if you read the book you’ll understand what I’m saying 😉
Chapter one already had me because I could just see the scene unfolding in my minds eye I could even hear Gerda’s German accent !
The Golden Age of Mystery Book as started up and Lexie was asked to lead it and it started with a little drama between the girls but all calms down and bookclub starts ❣️📚
Sylvia takes ill and everyone is worried but she reassures everyone she’s ok unti she’s not Lowell storms into the library , panicked and Sylvia is declared dead 🙈but she wasn’t the first to die and nor would she be the last ….
I must admit I loved the backround we get some of the details regarding Christie and others of that writing era I knew and some of it was new so that was a big tick for me ❣️📚 I loved the interaction between the characters and their quirky natures , an enjoyable easy , fun read ❣️📚

After reading Ghost Talker, I could not wait to read Delicious Death. Byrd Nash did not disappoint with book 2. Delicious Death had all of the mystery and angst from book one, and even more romantic tension. Once again, we get to see Madame Chalamet help the Duke solve a mystery, while also helping spirits move to the other side. In this book, Chalamet must help the Duke solve the attempted murder of the king through poisoning. The characters are well developed, the story is fast paced and easy to read, and Madame Chalamet and the Duke work so well together. Once again, I am super excited to begin reading book 3, Spirit Guide, and I cannot wait to see where Chalamet and the Duke’s relationship goes.

The Book of Fears by K.S. Gantt is a collection of 8 short and disturbing stories that highlight some intriguing phobias. This is a creepy horror-esque fest full of tension, dramatic developments, twisty turns, and suspense. There are trigger warnings of violence, abuse, and more- so if you have any triggers, you will want to check out the TW’s before diving in. This also appears to be Ms. Gantt’s debut novel, as when I had finished this I went looking for more of her work, but this is the only one that showed up…. So I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more of her work in the future. The stories in the collection are: -Let’s Go Home Wolfie (Autophobia) -Not In My House (Katsaridaphobia) -I’ll Float Away (Lepidopterophobia) -Friday the 13th (Paraskevidekatriaphobia) -Deep Thoughts (Taphephobia) -It’s All Fun and Games (Thanatophobia) -Happy Anniversary (Ophidiophobia) -Have You Seen My Wallet (Trypanophobia)
I loved that this collection was so different from what I have been reading of late, and reminded me that I haven’t had enough of this genre in my reading ‘diet’ of late… Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Gantt produces next. Happy Reading…

S. Gantt – Review by Angela Hayes
This is a great mystery book. I love the strong feminine personality of the main character. This book draws you in from the first chapter and keeps you guessing until the end. The tension is palpable. Can’t wait to read the next one.
I wanted to love everything about this book. The characters in the timeliness while a little older than me I could relate with the time, the home issues and the amazing music we had in the 80’s and thought for sure it would make my Gen X heart happy.
While parts did do that there were other parts that would frustrate me to no end. Nick and Dani as kids are sweet and innocent to a point. Her home life isn’t great and his isn’t any better. But they find comfort and peace with one another.
Flash forward 6 years, Nick is now Nicki and in a famous band. The description of Nicki was quite easy to picture in my mind and totally got a Motley Crue/Nikki Sixx vibe which evidently what she wanted us to picture.
I did not like the 1986 forward version of Nick until the very end. There was too much push and pull for my liking but the very end of the book saved it for me.

This was an overall engaging and easy read. Even with reading the synopsis and reviews, I wasn’t quite expecting what I got with this story. The writing style was surprisingly simple, making the story flow and easy to turn the pages. It was fast paced and unique. The setting was intriguing to me and helped setup the story. We find Ned, Rod, and Sally —our main three characters—in an east coast town during a time where people mostly think only of themselves and where food supply, especially fish, is depleted. In a town where fishing is a primary occupation, many are struggling due to the scarcity of resources. Then Rod and Ned make a discovery that will change their lives—little did they know just how it will change their lives as well as the world around them, placing them in the middle of a nightmare.
While the story was engaging and unique, I personally felt the overall story and characters were lacking some depth. Aside from that, the uniqueness really drew me in and I found the main characters to be likable. Ultimately, this was a fast read that I’d recommend!

When Libby moves to Woodvalley, Wyoming, she never expected to set her world on fire – literally. Zach, the firefighter, comes to her rescue and is immediately intrigued by the sexy Libby in her Disney pajamas. Spending time together has Libby and Zach both questioning their futures. Will Libby be able to share and overcome her past with Zach? I LOVED this book and can’t wait to read the rest of the Love Burns series. The banter between characters helps keep the book on the lighter side while still being able to explore their feelings. The side characters are well developed and I can’t wait to read more of their stories in the next book.

We have enjoyed several of Oscar and Emmy’s adventures and this one has a little deeper meaning. I like that Terri has written a tale about animals and what it is to be prepared for them in an emergency situation. We are able to find many things in regard to preparation for humans but little for our furry friends. This fun tale is aimed at children aged 3 – 9 years and is told through the POV of kittens and children. It shares the importance of what is happening, being safe and prepared, having loving friends around you in a scary time and helping others. Adults could learn a thing or two as well. As always, the illustrations by Natalie Merheb are beautifully done and bring the story to life.
